The article "Influence: The new currency of Web 3.0," by Rob Dickens is a great article written about today's time. The world that we live in today is so much more different than just a decade ago, everyone has a computer at home now along with a smartphone on the go. Technology has advance drastically within such a short period of time. Social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc have exploded onto the scene now also; more than just the average joes are using these websites, thousands of celebrities and almost every mainstream company has a Facebook or Twitter to reach out to their audiences. People can, not only reach out to their friends and families, but also to celebrities and brands they use. Companies are now posting updates (sales, news) on their Twitter pages in order to promote their brand, and also receive feedback from their customers.

I do believe our online social statuses has a value. When a person post a simple status update or message on Facebook, it gets out to the whole world. A smart company would take into consideration of its customers' opinions, in order to provide the best service possible. If enough people get together and voice their opinions, it can make a big difference to the person that is listening. We are living in a society where everyone expects everything to happen on demand, people are living for the moment-"right now, right away". With the recent popularity of social websites, people can instantly track updates from anyone and have the ability to comment on anything.
